3. Enter the Profile Name.
• Authentication Mode: The WEP/PSK parameters are separately configurable for each authentication mode. To
enable a security mode in the profile (Non Secure Station, WEP Station, 802.1x Station, WPA Station, WPA-PSK
Station, 802.11i (WPA2) Station, 802.11i-PSK Station).
If the authentication mode selected in a profile is WEP, WPA-PSK, or 802.11i-PSK, then you must configure the WEP or
Pre-Shared Keys.
NOTE: If an 802.1x client that has already been authenticated attempts to switch to WEP, or if a WEP client that has
already been connected attempts to switch to 802.1x, the AP will not allow the client to switch immediately. If this
happens, either reboot the AP or disable the client/roam to a new AP for five minutes, and then attempt to
reconnect to the AP. If the client is still unable to connect after waiting five minutes, reboot the AP.
If you select WEP or TKIP, then the device will work on legacy rates not on 11n rates.
Configure one or more types of security modes that are allowed to access to the AP under the security profile. Select the
option from the Entry status drop-down box.
• Authentication Mode: None, then the security will be disabled for that VAP.
